[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. The same parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate, and different parts will be described. Note that the drawings are schematic or conceptual, and the relationship between the thickness and width of each part, the ratio of the sizes between parts, etc. are not necessarily the same as the actual ones. Also, even when representing the same part, there are cases where the dimensions and ratios are represented differently in the drawings.

[0008] Furthermore, the arrangement and configuration of each part will be described using the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis shown in each figure. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are mutually orthogonal and represent the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction, respectively. Also, there are cases where the Z direction is described as upward and the opposite direction as downward.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a semiconductor device 1 according to an embodiment. The semiconductor device 1 is, for example, a photo relay including a photocoupler.

[0010] The semiconductor device 1 includes a first switching element 10, a second switching element 20, a light receiving element 30, a light emitting element 40, a resin package 50, input side terminals 60a to 60h, and output side terminals 70a, 70b, 80a, 80b. The first switching element 10 and the second switching element 20 are, for example, MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors).

[0011] The first switching element 10, the second switching element 20, the light receiving element 30, and the light emitting element 40 are encapsulated inside the resin package 50. The input side terminals 60a to 60h and the output side terminals 70a, 70b, 80a, 80b are provided so as to extend from the resin package 50, respectively.

[0012] Figs. 2(a) and (b) are schematic diagrams showing the semiconductor device 1 according to the embodiment. Fig. 2(a) is a schematic plan view showing the internal configuration of the resin package 50. Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A shown in Fig. 2(a).

[0013] As shown in Fig. 2(a), the semiconductor device 1 includes a first lead 70, a second lead 80, and a third lead 90. The first lead 70, the second lead 80, and the third lead 90 are, for example, metal plates containing copper or an iron-nickel alloy.

[0014] The first lead 70, the second lead 80, and the third lead 90 are sealed inside the resin package 50. A part of the first lead 70 extends outside the resin package 50 as output side terminals 70a and 70b. A part of the second lead 80 extends outside the resin package 50 as output side terminals 80a and 80b.

[0015] The first lead 70 includes, for example, a mount bed 70m. The first switching element 10 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 70m. The output side terminals 70a and 70b are electrically connected to the first switching element 10 via the mount bed 70m.

[0016] The second lead 80 includes, for example, a mount bed 80m. The second switching element 20 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 80m. The output side terminals 80a and 80b are electrically connected to the second switching element 20 via the mount bed 80m.

[0017] The third lead 90 is provided between the first lead 70 and the second lead 80. The light receiving element 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the third lead 90.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 2(a), the input side terminals 60a to 60h each include a sealed portion located inside the resin package 50 and a terminal portion extending from the resin package 50.

[0019] The resin package 50 has, for example, a rectangular shape in a top view, and has a short side extending in the X direction and a long side extending in the Y direction. The input-side terminals 60a to 60h and the output-side terminals 70a, 70b, 80a, and 80b extend, for example, from a side surface along the long side of the resin package 50.

[0020] The resin package 50 has a first side surface SS1 along its long side, a second side surface SS2 on the opposite side of the first side surface SS1, a third side surface SS3 along the short side, and a fourth side surface SS4 on the opposite side of the third side surface SS3. The input-side terminals 60a to 60h extend externally from the first side surface SS1. The output-side terminals 70a, 70b, 80a, and 80b extend externally from the second side surface SS2.

[0021] The output-side terminals 70a and 70b are provided at a distance from the output-side terminals 80a and 80b in the Y direction. The output-side terminal 70a is provided at one end of the second side surface SS2, and the output-side terminal 80b is provided at the other end of the second side surface SS2. The creepage distance along the second side surface SS2 between the output-side terminal 70b and the output-side terminal 80a is provided to be a length at which a predetermined voltage can be applied between the first lead 70 and the second lead 80. That is, the longer the creepage distance between the output-side terminal 70b and the output-side terminal 80a, the higher the voltage that can be applied between the first lead 70 and the second lead 80 sealed in the resin package 50.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the third lead 90 is provided so that its entirety is sealed in the resin package 50. That is, by not exposing the end 90ef of the third lead 90 to the second side surface SS2, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the withstand voltage between the output-side terminal 70b and the output-side terminal 80a. That is, by preventing a material other than the resin from appearing between the output-side terminal 70b and the output-side terminal 80a, the withstand voltage between the two terminals can be stably ensured.

[0023] Also, the mounting bed 70m of the first lead 70 is provided at a position shifted toward the center side of the resin package 50 in the Y direction from the position of the output-side terminal 70a. For example, the output-side terminal 70a has side surfaces 70aa and 70ab that intersect in the Y direction. The side surface 70ab faces the output-side terminal 70b, and the side surface 70aa is located on the opposite side of the side surface 70ab. The mounting bed 70m has a side surface 70ms that faces the third side surface SS3 along the short side of the resin package 50. The position of the side surface 70ms of the mounting bed 70m in the Y direction is closer to the center of the resin package 50 than the position of the side surface 70aa of the output-side terminal 70a in the Y direction. Further, the mounting bed 70m is provided at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 in the X direction. In this way, the first lead 70 is provided such that the first switching element 10 is sealed at a position closer to the center of the resin package 50.

[0024] The first switching element 10 is preferably sealed, for example, at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 in the X direction. Also, the distance WD between the first switching element 10 and the third side surface SS3 of the resin package 50 is wider than half of the thickness PT of the resin package 50 in the Z direction.

[0025] The mounting bed 80m of the second lead 80 is also provided at a position closer to the center of the resin package 50. The mounting bed 80m has a side surface 80ms that faces the fourth side surface SS4 along the short side of the resin package 50. The output-side terminal 80b has a side surface 80bb that is located on the opposite side of the output-side terminal 80a in the Y direction. The position of the side surface 80ms of the mounting bed 80m in the Y direction is closer to the center of the resin package 50 than the position of the side surface 80bb of the output-side terminal 80b in the Y direction. Also, the mounting bed 80m is provided to be located at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 in the X direction. That is, the second switching element 20 is sealed at a position closer to the center of the resin package 50.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the light receiving element 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the third lead 90. The third lead 90 includes a mounting bed 90m and an extending portion 90ex. The light receiving element 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the mounting bed 90m. The extending portion 90ex is provided, for example, so as to extend in the X direction from the mounting bed 90m. The third lead 90 has an opening 90th between the mounting bed 90m and the extending portion 90ex. The opening 90th is provided to improve the adhesion between the resin package 50 and the third lead 90.

[0027] The light emitting element 40 is mounted on the mounting bed 60m. The mounting bed 60m is provided, for example, so as to face the mounting bed 90m of the third lead 90 and is connected to the input side terminals 60d and 60f (see FIG. 3(b)). The light receiving element 30 and the light emitting element 40 are arranged to face each other between the mounting bed 60m and the third lead 90. The light receiving element 30 and the light emitting element 40 are arranged so that the light emitted from the light emitting element 40 is detected by the light receiving element 30.

[0028] The light receiving element 30 is electrically connected to the third lead 90 via, for example, a metal wire MW1. The light emitting element 40 is electrically connected to at least one of the input side terminals 60d and 60f via the mounting bed 60m and is also electrically connected to the input side terminal 60e via a metal wire MW2.

[0029] The resin package 50 includes a first resin 51, a second resin 53, and a third resin 55. The first resin 51 seals the first switching element 10, the second switching element 20, and the light receiving element 30 inside thereof. The second resin 53 is molded so as to cover the first resin 51. Further, the second resin 53 seals the third lead 90. The third resin 55 seals the light emitting element 40 on the mounting bed 60m. The first resin 51 is molded so as to cover the third resin 55.

[0030] The first resin 51 and the second resin 53 are, for example, epoxy resins. The third resin 55 is, for example, a silicone resin. The first resin 51 and the third resin 55 transmit the light of the light-emitting element 40. The second resin 53 contains a material that blocks the light of the light-emitting element 40, for example, particles of an oxide, nitride, carbide, or composite compound, or carbon. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the second resin 53 is, for example, larger than that of the first resin 51, and it is desirable to compressively seal the first resin 51.

[0031] The first lead 70 and the second lead 80 are provided so as to extend externally from the first resin 51 through the second resin 53. The third lead 90 extends from the first resin 51 into the second resin 53 but is provided so as not to extend externally from the second resin 53. The third lead 90 is cut after the first resin 51 is molded, and the second resin 53 is molded so as to cover the end 90ef of the third lead 90.

[0032] Figs. 3(a) to (c) are schematic views showing the configuration of the semiconductor device 1 according to the embodiment. Fig. 3(a) is a schematic plan view showing the first lead 70, the second lead 80, and the third lead 90. Fig. 3(b) is a schematic plan view showing the input-side terminals 60a to 60h. Fig. 3(c) is a circuit diagram.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 3(a), the first switching element 10 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 70m of the first lead 70. The second switching element 20 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 80m of the second lead 80. The light-receiving element 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 90m of the third lead 90.

[0034] The first switching element 10 has a source terminal ST1 and a gate terminal GT1. The source terminal ST1 is electrically connected to the third lead 90 via, for example, a metal wire MW3. The gate terminal GT1 is electrically connected to the light-receiving element 30 via, for example, a metal wire MW4.

[0035] The second switching element 20 has a source terminal ST2 and a gate terminal GT2. The source terminal ST2 is electrically connected to the third lead 90, for example, via a metal wire MW5. The gate terminal GT2 is electrically connected to the light receiving element 30, for example, via a metal wire MW6.

[0036] The light receiving element 30 is electrically connected to the third lead 90, for example, via a metal wire MW1. The back surface of the light receiving element 30 may be electrically connected to the third lead 90 or may be electrically insulated from the third lead 90. When the back surface of the light receiving element 30 is electrically connected to the third lead 90, it is also possible to omit the metal wire MW1.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 3(b), the input side terminals 60d and 60f are connected to the mount bed 60m. The light emitting element 40 is mounted on the mount bed 60m. The light emitting element 40 is electrically connected to the input side terminals 60d and 60f via the mount bed 60m. An opening 60th is provided between each of the input side terminals 60d and 60f and the mount bed 60m. Also, the light emitting element 40 is electrically connected to the input side terminal 60e via a metal wire MW2.

[0038] The input side terminals 60a to 60c, 60g and 60f are not connected to other components and are provided, for example, to ensure the stability and mounting strength when mounting the semiconductor device 1 on a circuit board or the like.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3(c), the input side terminal 60e is connected to the anode side of the light emitting element 40. Also, the input side terminal 60d (60f) is connected to the cathode side of the light emitting element 40. The light emitting element 40 is, for example, a light emitting diode (LED).

[0040] The light receiving element 30 includes, for example, a plurality of photodiodes 30r and a control circuit 30f. The photodiodes 30r are connected in series and are electrically connected to the control circuit 30f. The control circuit 30f is, for example, a waveform shaping circuit.

[0041] The first switching element 10 and the second switching element 20 are, for example, MOSFETs. The drain of the first switching element 10 is electrically connected to the output side terminal 70a (70b). The drain of the second switching element 20 is electrically connected to the output side terminal 80a (80b). The source of the first switching element 10 and the source of the second switching element are electrically connected via the third lead 90.

[0042] The anode side output of the light receiving element 30 is electrically connected to the gates of the first switching element 10 and the second switching element. On the other hand, the cathode side output of the light receiving element 30 is electrically connected to the sources of the first switching element and the second switching element via the third lead 90.

[0043] The light emitting element 40 is driven, for example, by a current (input signal) flowing between the input side terminal 60e and the input side terminal 60d, and emits signal light corresponding to the input signal. The light receiving element 30 detects the signal light of the light emitting element 40, and applies an output voltage corresponding to the input signal between the gate and source of the first switching element 10 and between the gate and source of the second switching element 20. Thereby, the electrical conduction between the output side terminal 70a and the output side terminal 80b can be controlled to be turned on and off.

[0044] Figs. 4(a) to (c) are schematic diagrams showing the characteristics of the semiconductor device 1 according to the embodiment. Fig. 4(a) is a schematic plan view showing a semiconductor device according to a comparative example. Fig. 4(b) is a schematic plan view showing the semiconductor device 1.

[0045] Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) are partial plan views showing the arrangement of the mounting bed 70m of the first lead 70. Fig. 4(c) is a graph showing the stress applied to the first switching element 10.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 4(a), in the semiconductor device according to the comparative example, the mounting bed 70m is provided near the interface 50if between the first resin 51 and the second resin 53. For example, the side surface 70ms of the mounting bed 70m facing the side surface along the short side of the resin package 50 is at the same position as the side surface 70aa of the output side terminal 70a in the Y direction. That is, in a top view, the side surface of the mounting bed 70m and the side surface 70aa of the output side terminal 70a are continuously connected without a step therebetween.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 4(b), in the semiconductor device 1, the mounting bed 70m is provided at a position away from the interface 50if between the first resin 51 and the second resin 53. In other words, the mounting bed 70m is preferably provided at a position further away from the side surfaces along the short side and the long side of the resin package 50.

[0048] For example, the mounting bed 70m is provided so as to be located at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 in the X direction. The first switching element 10 mounted on the mounting bed 70m is also located at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 in the X direction. Also, the side surface 70ms of the mounting bed 70m is located closer to the center of the resin package 50 than the side surface 70aa of the output side terminal 70a in the Y direction.

[0049] FIG. 4(c) shows the stress applied to the first switching element 10 mounted on the mounting bed 70m. The horizontal axis represents the chip position along the direction from the corner of the package 50 where the second side surface SS2 and the third side surface SS3 are in contact to the center of one half of the package 50, and the vertical axis represents the stress. "CE" in the figure represents the position of the first switching element 10 in the semiconductor device according to the comparative example. Also, "EB" represents the position of the first switching element 10 in the semiconductor device 1.

[0050] FIG. 4(c) shows the stress applied to the first switching element 10 at positions A, B, and C shown in FIGS. 4(a) and (b). The “stress” shown here is due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials of the first resin 51, the second resin 53, and the first lead 70, respectively.

[0051] Position A corresponds to the corner of the first switching element 10, and position B is the center of the side surface of the first switching element 10 facing the third side surface SS3 of the resin package 50. Further, position C is the center of the side surface of the first switching element 10 facing the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4(c), the stress applied to the first switching element 10 of the semiconductor device 1 is smaller than the stress applied to the first switching element 10 of the semiconductor device according to the comparative example. In particular, it can be seen that the stress applied to the first switching element 10 is greatly reduced at the corner (position A) where chip cracking is likely to occur.

[0053] In this way, by sealing the first switching element 10 at a position farther from the first side surface SS1, the second side surface SS2, and the third side surface SS3 of the resin package 50, the stress caused by the temperature change applied to the first switching element 10 can be reduced, and element breakage can be prevented.

[0054] That is, by distancing the first switching element 10 from the edge of the resin package 50 where stress concentration is likely to occur, the stress applied to the first switching element 10 can be reduced. Further, by arranging the mount bed 70m of the first lead 70 at the center between the first side surface SS1 and the second side surface SS2, in a top view of the resin package 50, the first lead 70 approaches the input side terminals 60a to 60d. Thereby, in a top view of the resin package 50, the area of the region including only the first resin 51 and the second resin 53 becomes narrow, and the rigidity against deformation (for example, bending, etc.) of the package 50 in the Z direction can be increased. Thereby, the stress applied to the first switching element 10 can also be reduced.

[0055] Further, the first lead 70 and the second lead 80 have a plurality of openings 70th provided between the second side surface SS2 of the resin package 50 and the mount bed 70m (see Fig. 2(a)). The second lead 80 has a plurality of openings 80th provided between the second side surface SS2 and the mount bed 80m (see Fig. 2(a)). Further, in a top view in the Z direction, a part of the input terminals 60a and 60d overlaps with the mount bed 70m. Also, a part of 60f and 60h overlaps with the mount bed 80m. With such a configuration, the stress applied to the first switching element 10 and the second switching element 20 is equalized, and element breakage can be prevented. Note that at least one of the input terminals 60a to 60d may be configured to overlap with the mount bed 70m in a top view, and at least one of the input side terminals 60f to 60h may be configured to overlap with the mount bed 80m in a top view.

[0056] The first switching element 10 is sealed, for example, at the center of one half in the Y direction of the resin package 50 in a top view. Similarly, the second switching element 20 is sealed at a position farther from the first side surface SS1, the second side surface SS2, and the fourth side surface SS4 of the resin package 50 (see Fig. 2(a)).

[0057] Figs. 5(a) and (b) are schematic views showing a semiconductor device 2 according to a modified example of the embodiment. Fig. 5(a) is a perspective view showing the semiconductor device 2. Fig. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the FC shown in Fig. 5(a). FC is a cross-section parallel to the Y-Z plane.

[0058] As shown in Fig. 5(a), the semiconductor device 2 also includes a first switching element 10, a second switching element 20, a light receiving element 30, and a light emitting element 40 (not shown), which are encapsulated inside the resin package 50. The first switching element 10 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 70m of the first lead 70, and the second switching element 20 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 80m of the second lead 80. The light receiving element 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the mount bed 90m of the third lead 90. The light emitting element 40 is mounted on the mount bed 60m and arranged to face the light receiving element 30.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 5(b), the semiconductor device 2 further includes metal plates 60n and 60p. The metal plate 60n is provided, for example, at a position facing the mount bed 70m and is connected to the input side terminals 60a to 60c (see Fig. 3(b)). The metal plate 60p is provided, for example, at a position facing the mount bed 80m and is connected to the input side terminals 60g and 60h (see Fig. 3(b)).

[0060] By providing the metal plates 60n and 60p, the stress caused by the expansion and contraction of the first lead 70, the second lead 80, and the third lead 90 can be offset, or dispersed and homogenized in the X, Y, and Z directions. For example, if the widths of the first lead 70, the second lead 80, and the third lead 90 in the Y direction are WUL, WUR, and WUC respectively, and the widths of the metal plates 60n, 60p, and the mount bed 60m in the Y direction are WLL, WLR, and WLC respectively, they are provided such that the sum of WUL, WUR, and WUC is substantially the same as the sum of WLL, WLR, and WLC.

[0061] Furthermore, in a top view, the mounting bed 70m is provided so as to cover the space between the mounting bed 60m and the metal plate 60n. Also, the mounting bed 80m is provided so as to cover the space between the mounting bed 60m and the metal plate 60p.
